Abstract
Taraxast-19-en-3β-ol (1) and taraxast-19-en-3-one (2) were isolated from the surface lipids of young shoots of Rosa multiflora Thunb. The results provide the first evidence that deprotonation of H-19 can occur to produce the tetra-substituted triterpenes, in addition to the known formation taraxasterol and ϕ-taraxasterol by deprotonation of H-30 and H-21, respectively. Furthermore, taraxast-19(29)-ene-3β,20α-diol (3), which is presumed to be formed from compound 1 was isolated. The structures of the new compounds 1-3 with the α-orientation of H-18 were determined by spectroscopic methods including NOE studies. In addition, 19,20-seco-3β-hydroxyursane-19,20-dione (4), a 3β-hydroxy analog of the known 19,20-seco-ursane-3,19,20-trione was isolated. It is of note that compound 4 has the β-orientation of H-18, which is opposite to the α-orientation of H-18 of compounds 1-3.
期刊介绍:
Phytochemistry Letters invites rapid communications on all aspects of natural product research including:
• Structural elucidation of natural products
• Analytical evaluation of herbal medicines
• Clinical efficacy, safety and pharmacovigilance of herbal medicines
• Natural product biosynthesis
• Natural product synthesis and chemical modification
• Natural product metabolism
• Chemical ecology
• Biotechnology
• Bioassay-guided isolation
• Pharmacognosy
• Pharmacology of natural products
• Metabolomics
• Ethnobotany and traditional usage
• Genetics of natural products
Manuscripts that detail the isolation of just one new compound are not substantial enough to be sent out of review and are out of scope. Furthermore, where pharmacology has been performed on one new compound to increase the amount of novel data, the pharmacology must be substantial and/or related to the medicinal use of the producing organism.
